Very responsive; Joanna was personable and professional; she quickly grasped my daughter's complex needs and paired her with an absolutely perfect academic mentor; kept me informed throughout; very easy to deal with generally; the company seem to have cornered a rather under-served part of the market. Would highly and unreservedly recommend!

They really take the time to listen to the individual needs of the child to work out a suitable match for the child. It's not a like it or lump it service. They check in frequently so that they can be sure the support is continuing to deliver. It's not out of sight, out of mind.

Our 13-year-old son is in the autistic spectrum and could not tolerate school schedule, thus the school outsourced tutoring at home. We are delighted that the school managed to find a SEN-qualified tutor Luke via SENsational Tutors. Although Luke lived too far and only online sessions were feasible, he took efforts to learn our son's favorite online games to gain rapport. He was very sensitive to the child's changing body language and emotions, and adapt his strategy with agility. He always build up the child's confidence with positive comments and praises. Luke engaged the student with discussions around a wide variety of topics including geopolitical issues, law, human rights, environmental protection, vegetarianism, etc. He also provided a wide range of activities/quizzes/lessons in English, math, and science. Our son was often able to participate positively in Luke's sessions. Eventually, he was admitted to a special school. In the last few sessions, Luke provided useful information regarding classmates with special needs and friend-making strategies to prepare our son for his new school. In our opinion, Luke is flexible and responsive to student's varying needs and adapt his strategies accordingly, and that contributes to successful tutorship.

This company is a Godsend. I have struggled to find someone who has the patience and expertise to deal with the short attention span of my son who struggles with ADHD. Ayanna is very experienced and makes the sessions fun and informative, supporting him with appropriate resources. She ensures there are clear boundaries and Reuben knows exactly what to expect which helps with his anxiety. I am thankful to Sensational Tutors for putting us in touch with Ayanna and we look forward to many more amazing sessions together.

Jenna was an amazing tutor. She connected with my son like no other tutor has before. She was extremely professional, experienced and knowledgeable of all his needs and challenges. My son looked forward to every session with her and never once gave resistance. She helped pin point areas he needed extra attention and gave me detailed feedback for his teachers at school as well. Highly recommend!

Finding my son facing difficulty in English, I have struggled to find tutors to help him. But most tutors focus on 11+, which are too difficult for my son to follow up. I random search a SEN tutor and get SENsational Tutors Ltd. The price doubles that I can only afford a few sessions. Therefore I just pay for 6 sessions during Summer holiday, and concerate on only one single issue : comprehension. The first tutor I contacted did not meet my schedule, that SENsational Tutors has helped me to collect a list of tutors who can fulfill my requirements, that is how I find Caroline. Tutors Caroline understands my plan, and really delivers what I expected. She has given extra clam-down time and toys for my son as I requested, started with easier level, and has taught PEEL strategy. I find that 6 sessions with SEN tutor is better and cheaper than 50 non-SEN tutor, given that if you can explicitly state one particular issue and target of your child.

I would highly recommend Ayana as a tutor. She has been incredibly effective in helping my little guy with his studies. Ayana's ability to connect with him on a personal level has made a significant difference in his learning experience. He not only feels comfortable with Ayana but also genuinely enjoys the tutoring sessions. Ayana's assessment of his needs and her ability to tailor her teaching methods accordingly have been impressive. She has a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that he can easily understand and apply. Ayana's patience, dedication, and enthusiasm for teaching are evident in every session. His desire for more sessions with Ayana is a testament to her effectiveness as a tutor. It's clear that Ayana has created a positive and engaging learning environment that motivates him to continue his educational journey with her. Overall, Ayana's tutoring skills, ability to connect with students, and commitment to their success make her an exceptional tutor. I am grateful for the positive impact she has had on his learning and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of tutoring assistance.

Excellent customer service - they responded in a timely manner, listened carefully to our requirements and linked my son up with their exceptional tutor Krista. In two sessions she had given him the tools to succeed at GCSE Maths and English. Thank you Krista!

Can't fault the service from Sensational Tutors at all. From the start, it was easy to enquire online, find a tutor and meet for an initial session. Our tutor, Chenaie was an absolutely fantastic. She just "got" my son straight away, and was able to build a trusting working relationship with him, which is half the battle when finding good education for your SEN child (esp. PDA). He engaged with his learning straight away, and looked forward to his sessions with her. They agreed on what to study and when, and the work my son produced by the end of our time with Chenaie was outstanding. We knew our son was capable of much more academically than he was showing at school. Chenaie was able to build up his confidence and self-esteem, and provide a safe and engaging environment that allowed him to show us all what he could do. Overall, the service provided by Sensational Tutors was worth every penny, and one which I do not think we would have received from tutors that do not necessarily specialise in teaching SEN children. We will definitely be back in touch with Chenaie and Sensational Tutors in the future, now that my son is at a new school placement, and will be starting his GCSEs next year. So, if you are looking for excellent and expert tuition for your SEN child, then look at Sensational Tutors. You won't regret it!

My name is Justin and my wife's name is Judith. Gemma is by far the most amazing person I have ever met and taught our son. We have so much respect for her and the amazing ways she communicated with us. She is selfless and has great empathy and always make sure that she puts our son first. We would recommend Gemma to anybody. She is such a great teacher who treats people of different backgrounds with great respect.

From the moment that Sensational Tutors were in touch to try and help us find a suitable tutor for our 13yr old son, we have been impressed by the overall service. They listened to our needs and came up with the perfect match! Due to his additional needs (ADHD & PDA) we needed someone who could adapt their teaching method, and build a trustworthy bond with our son. Simone has done just that. For the past 8 months, listening to her teach Elijah has been a joy; they have great fun and he clearly respects her and responds well to her friendly, yet thorough approach. He's basically like a different child when he's with Simone - less stressed, happier, enjoying learning again, motivated and calm. I would say that without Simone's help, Elijah wouldn't have made it through to the new secondary school that he'll start in September. Thank you Simone!

We recently used SENsational Tutors and chose Richard to be our son's Tutor. Our son, Sam has ASD and ADHD and was struggling in mainstream school. We were constantly on the receiving end of negative comments until were started working with Richard. During the first session we could see a connection and it helped that Richard was good at football and was happy to kick a ball around in the garden towards the end of the session. Sam quickly knew he was someone he could trust. Sam avoided learning as his self esteem was low and anxiety very high but Richard adapted his teaching quickly and was flexible during each session. It was inspiring to see him keep Sam's focus and actually engaged with learning. At times he used the mobile phone for research and even learnt a game that Sam was interested in to learn about history and Vikings. Richard was incredibly enthusiastic about the progress Sam made, however small, which gave us so much hope that with the write tutor and support he would thrive. Sam even asked to sit the Year 6 SATS with his peers because of Richard's input in raising his confidence and self esteem. Richard also helped support us as parents as we went through a SEN appeal to find a secondary school and also attended our annual review. He was there to talk through any concern and impart all his knowledge and expertise. We found it really easy to set up working with SENsational Tutors and felt they were a company that really cared about the child and the impact they could have on helping them learn and thrive. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending both Richard and SENsational tutors.

We have been so pleased with the help and support Simone has provided our family, especially our son who has additional learning differences. Simone's expertise, patience, optimism and hard work have resulted in my son building a strong a rapport with her and feeling more confident in his ability to showcase his potential. We've had a difficult time landing the right educational setting for him and feel very grateful that Simone has been able to work closely with him to provide him with the learning he is missing from his current school setting. She is creative in her methods, clear on her expectations and has a wealth of appropriate resources to explore fun and interesting ways to bring our son along. He always looks forward to seeing her and she brings a wonderful energy of a 'can do' attitude that offers us as parents so much solace. Raising a child with differences is never easy, having a helping hand from a reliable and positive source, like this company has made the last two terms so much easier to juggle. Joanna is working hard to run very useful and important service for many parents like us, we are so thankful!

Sensational tutors is highly recommended.

My 11 year old autistic daughter had been out of school for some time due to her complex needs. SENsational Tutors quickly understood our daughters needs and connected us with the amazing tutor, Kelly. Kelly was able to quickly assess my daughters capabilities in a fun and non-threatening way. She created flexible and adaptable lessons that my daughter really enjoyed attending. Due to my daughters complex physical and mental health needs she recently hasn’t been able to regularly attend lessons. Kelly’s flexibility and desire to continue working with my daughter have let my daughter continue to make educational progress. I highly recommend both SENsational tutors and especially Kelly!

Melissa has been fabulous to work with. We have been working with her for the last few months. Within the first month, she mentioned that my daughter might be dyslexic. She shared advice and helped me work with my examiner here in Spain. She was correct in her discovery and adapted her tutoring to fit my daughter. Melissa is so calm, caring, exciting and supportive. Thank you, Melissa,

I wholeheartedly recommend SENsational Tutors. Kelly has been working with my son A who has complex learning needs, Autism, ADHD and challenging behaviour for over a year. They have built a great relationship together and work to cover a range of different material. Kelly has got to know my son very well and understands what motivates him to work. A enjoys various activities that Kelly organises and in the past year they have had many fun outings together.

Sensational tutors have been amazing and helped me to find the perfect match for my daughter. John has been absolutely phenomenal, and we would definitely highly recommend him. I am very impressed, with how he always manages to keep my daughter motivated and engaged throughout the duration of her lessons (1 1/2 hours a day). Whilst differentiating her learning to meet her needs and always making the lessons fun. Since working with John my daughters confidence has grown and she has made great progress in English, especially with her independent reading and has recently passed her functional skills level 1. Thank you John for being a wonderful tutor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
